Creating more complex and difficult-to-remember passwords for users.
Using biometric authentication (like face or fingerprint scans) to secure accounts.
Running real-time fraud detection algorithms that can instantly flag and block suspicious transactions.
By replacing all human customer service agents with chatbots.
8. What is the primary strategy for 'Building Digital Trust' with customers?
Hiding information about data breaches to avoid worrying customers.
Using highly technical jargon in all privacy policies and communications.
Being transparent about how customer data is used and providing clear, proactive security communications.
Offering the lowest possible interest rates on savings accounts.
9. What role do 'Big Tech' companies like Apple and Google play in the digital banking ecosystem?
They are leaving the financial space to focus only on hardware and search.
They primarily provide the underlying technology (like cloud services) but do not interact with customers.
They act as the primary regulators, setting rules for all banks.
They compete with banks by offering payment platforms (e.g., Apple Pay) and partnering to embed finance into their 'walled garden' ecosystems.
10. The trend of 'Open Banking' is expected to increase:
Competition and innovation, by allowing third-party apps to access bank data (with user permission).
By restricting data sharing to only government agencies for compliance purposes.
As banks consolidate all customer data solely within proprietary mobile apps.
Because regulators mandate that only bank-owned apps can connect to bank APIs.
